FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for all-weather conditions?

The leather upper offers some protection against light rain and splashes, but these trainers are not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, we recommend using a protective leather spray and avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture.

What does MicroFresh technology do?

MicroFresh technology is an antimicrobial treatment integrated into the trainers that helps to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping your footwear fresher for longer periods.

Are these true to size?

Kickers generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

Can I use these for running or sports?

The Kickers Tovni Lacer Trainers are designed for casual everyday wear, walking, and light activities. They do not offer the specialized support, cushioning, or traction required for running or high-impact sports.

How often should I clean and condition the leather?

Wipe down the leather as needed to remove dirt. Conditioning is recommended every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you notice the leather looking dry or being exposed to harsh conditions. This helps keep the leather supple and extends its life.

Can the insoles be removed or replaced?

The cushion foam footbed is designed for integrated comfort. While not easily removable without damaging the shoe, if you require specific orthotic support, consult with a footwear specialist.

Troubleshooting

My trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your feet. Ensure your laces are adjusted correctly – not too tight, not too loose.

The leather looks dull or has minor scuffs.

Clean the leather with a damp cloth, then apply a good quality leather conditioner or polish. For scuffs, a matching leather polish can often help conceal them. Always test any product on an inconspicuous area first.

Despite MicroFresh, I notice an odor.

While MicroFresh is effective, extreme conditions or prolonged use without airing can still lead to odors. Remove the insoles and air out your trainers overnight. Ensure you're wearing clean, breathable socks. You can also use a shoe deodorizer spray or cedar shoe trees.

The rubber sole seems less grippy.

Check the sole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the tread grooves with a brush and water. If the sole is significantly worn smooth, it might be time to consider replacement or re-soling by a professional.

Laces frequently come undone or break.

Ensure you are tying your laces securely. If they frequently come undone, consider trying a double knot. If laces are breaking, they may be worn out and can be easily replaced with new ones of the appropriate length and material.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner according to product instructions.
  2. Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This also helps restore its natural sheen.
  3. Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
  4. Odor Maintenance: While MicroFresh technology helps, periodically remove insoles to air out the shoes. You can also use shoe fresheners if needed.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
